Sanniang was overjoyed when she heard this: "I got the news of Liaoguo before, and I mostly learned from the northbound business traveler, but the news was not accurate or timely. If Liqing, you can have the friends of the heroes of the Northland, I can send people to the north here, recruit them to my command, and be my eyes and ears in the Northland. ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "Those heroes in the rivers and lakes of the north are only because their ancestors are Han people, so they are all people who have no aspirations, if you have this idea, I can repair a book and teach someone to take it, and after those people see it, they will definitely be attached." ”

Sanniang was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Then have you been in Liaoguo?" Chen Liqing shook her head and said: "No, I went to the Black Tatar tribe in Mobei with the group of heroes of the Liao Kingdom. ”

As soon as Sanniang heard the interest, she asked, "Where is Mobei, how is the situation?" Chen Liqing said: "There is a wide sky and high ground, a vast grassland, and a very beautiful scenery. Sanniang said: "Yes, it is the wind blowing the grass and seeing the cattle and sheep." Not to mention the scenery, how is the combat power of the local tribes? ”

Li Qing said: "Do you still want to contact them to fight Liao?" Sanniang shook her head and said: "Sooner or later, the Liao Dynasty will be destroyed by the Jin State, and I contacted them to prepare for the future defense against the Jin State." ”

Li Qing frowned and said, "Will the Jin Kingdom really invade the south?" Sanniang said worriedly: "The Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, who are full of plundering and extremely cruel, have destroyed the Liao State and will definitely invade the south." ”

Li Qing bowed her head and said: "Since you want to do this, I can also repair the book and teach the group of heroes who Liao Guo got acquainted with to contact the various departments of the Black Tatars in Mobei." They traveled to the Black Tatar tribes all year round, and were well acquainted with the leaders of each tribe. ”

Sanniang asked: "When you were in Mobei, did you ever find out that those tribes were larger?" Li Qing said: "In the east of Mobei, the Tatar Department and the Mi'er Beggar Department are the strongest, the central part is dominated by the Kereh Department, and the Western Department is headed by the Naiban Department. ”

Sanniang asked again: "Is there a beggar department?" Li Qing said: "But I have heard of it, but I heard that this department is not the largest, and it is only a small tribe in the east." ”

Sanniang said: "What about the situation of these tribes?" Li Qing said: "These tribes are all good at riding and shooting, and in case of war, young and old can be soldiers." But they lacked iron and armor, and all kinds of goods. On the grassland in the north of the desert, life is hard, and all tribes are born by water and grass, because they often fight against each other for grassland, population, and goods. When I was in Mobei, I saw a story of the Tatars slaughtering the tribe of the Mur beggars, killing all the men, taking their women and children prisoners, and looting their cattle and sheep tents and other goods. ”

When Yulian heard this, she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Sister Liqing, don't you often encounter risks?" Li Qing said with a smile: "This is not true, just because we are people who have been merchants from Liaodi, in Mobei, no matter what tribe, they are very polite to merchants and will not rob merchants." Yulian Qi said: "Why is this? Aren't they short of goods? ”

Before Liqing could answer, Sanniang smiled and said, "Silly girl, if they rob the merchants, then who would dare to go to Mobei to do business?" Li Qing also smiled: "Exactly, the Mobei Tatar ministries are in urgent need of all kinds of ironware, cloth from the Central Plains, salt tea, silk and other goods, and the Liao State often does not allow the Monan and Liao Ministries to trade with Mobei, so the Mobei Ministries are very welcome to people like us who do private business." ”

Sanniang said: "The Liao State blocked the trade with Mobei because it was afraid that these unruly tribes would multiply and become strong after obtaining the iron tools and various goods of the Central Plains, threatening the stability of the Liao Dynasty." Therefore, the trade was cut off and they were taught to attack each other. ”

Li Qing said: "That's right, although the Liao State cut off trade, but people die for money, birds die for food, but many Liao people can't help but go to Mobei to trade for huge profits." Yulian smiled: "I know, just like our heroes who sell smuggled salt here in the Central Plains." ”

Sanniang and Liqing both smiled and said, "It's about the same." Yan Sanniang asked: "Then among the few heroes you met in Liao, which ones are the most capable?" Liqing said: "Several of their ancestors are Han Chinese, although they all have Khitan names, but they are all called Han names on weekdays. There are two brothers, Han Bai and Han Song, both of whom are strong in martial arts and are nicknamed Double Tigers. There is also a down-and-out scholar who is also good at martial arts and good at calculation, and his name is Cui Jing, an iron abacus. There is also a strong man with infinite strength, whose name is Fei Song, who is also very good. ”

Sanniang sighed and asked, "Among them, who is the head?" Speaking of this, Li Qingqiao's face flushed slightly and said: "There is another person who is the head, this person is excellent in eighteen kinds of martial arts, and has the courage of ten thousand people, and the legend is that the ancestor is Yang Shilang, and his name is Liaodong Hui Horse Gun Yang Tinghe." ”

Sanniang saw Liqing's appearance, frowned and said, "To be honest, didn't you have a spring heart for this Yang Lang?" Li Qing took a sip, her face turned even redder, and she only said: "You think nonsense all day long, just because he sees that I am a daughter and takes care of me a lot, just like you and Na Chao Tianwang, they are talking about marriage!" ”

Sanniang laughed twice and said, "Then how can Yang Lang be compared to the Heavenly King?" Don't say it, then ask the good girl to repair the book, and I will send someone north to contact these heroes. Liqing pouted and said, "Shameless, I'm a good girl when I ask for it." Sanniang smiled and hugged her waist and said with a smile: "If you don't write, I'll tickle you again." ”

Liqing blushed and said, "Don't make trouble, I'll just write it." At that moment, Yulian took the four treasures of the study, and Chen Liqing wrote a letter to Sanniang. Sanniang plans to discuss with Gongsun Sheng and Lin Chong later to see who to send to the north to do this, once the matter is completed, the affairs of the north will no longer be the same as at this moment, and her eyes will be black.

After resting overnight, the next day Sanniang was discussing the affairs of the northern land with Gongsun Sheng and Lin Chong, and finally decided to let Zheng Ying go, just because he was good at raising Haidongqing, and he was very familiar with the affairs of the northern land, so he had to go to open the situation in person.

After the discussion, Zheng Ying brought a few companions, brought a lot of money, and goods to the north. Sending Zheng Ying away, when a few people were deliberating, suddenly Zhu Gui sent someone to report to him, saying that there was a village where someone from the courtyard came to deliver a letter. Sanniang immediately sent someone to lead to the hall, only to see three or five Zhuang guests coming, holding Yanqing Pu knife, bow and crossbow, Li Kui a pair of plate axes offered, the people came panicked and said: "The owner is above, and the little one sent two heroes with blades on the order of the prince." ”

Sanniang, Gongsun Sheng, Lin Chong and others were all shocked when they saw it, you must know that the blades of heroes have always been inseparable, and at this moment, the two blades are here, and something must have happened. When I asked the person who came, the person just said that after Yan Qing and Li Kui went, they were caught by the female thief who pretended to be Sanniang, so they sent two swords, and Jiaozhuang sent them back to Liangshan, and there was a letter here.

Sanniang immediately opened the letter, to the effect that the female thief had admired Sanniang's name for a long time, and this time she was ordered by her master to come to see her. But she was presumptuous and wanted to see the demeanor of the heroes of Liangshan, so she set up this bureau and led the heroes of Liangshan to come. Therefore, after the two heroes came, she boldly left the two heroes to live temporarily, hoping to invite Hu Sanniang to go to her for a while, meet each other face to face, and have their own share of Yunyun.

Lin Chong read the letter and said angrily: "Where did this woman come from, she actually calculated that we came to Liangshan, wait for me to pick up the military horse and go to rescue the two brothers Yan Qing and Li Kui." ”

Gongsun Sheng stopped and said: "She dared to send someone to return the two blades of Yan Qing and Li Kui, because she was not afraid of my army." She is in the shadows, and if my army had gone and it had been in the light, perhaps we would not have been able to find her, but would have killed the two brothers. ”

Sanniang frowned and said: "This woman wants to see me, but she can come to the cottage to ask for a meeting, so give a dismount, the person behind her must not be simple, since she set up a Hongmen banquet, I will go to see what medicine she sells in her gourd." ”

Lin Chong admonished: "This woman's origin is unknown, friends and enemies are not clear, senior sister should not take risks lightly, senior brother should go for a walk." ”

Sanniang said: "This matter is named and asked me to go, if I don't go, I'm afraid that the person behind her will look down on me, so it's okay, please ask Senior Brother Lu to speak first." "I sent someone to invite Lu Junyi to come.

Lu Junyi has been practicing military horses in the army all these days, and he came in a hurry after hearing the news, he was worried about Yanqing, and when he entered the hall, he immediately asked: "Where does anyone dare to arrest me from Liangshan?" After Sanniang told the matter, she said, "Senior brother, how about the two of us go for a walk in this matter?" ”

Lu Junyi said: "Very good, there are more people, but teach them to underestimate our Liangshan, you and my senior brothers and sisters go, I will see who dares to make a mistake." ”

Lin Chongxi said: "If there is a senior brother and a junior sister going together, this trip will definitely be worry-free." Gongsun Sheng groaned: "This trip to the poor road will also go together. Sanniang bowed her head and said: "If you have the Taoist chief to go with you, you will be more worry-free." ”

At the moment, Sanniang, Lu Junyi, and Gongsun Sheng packed up their bags, each rode a horse, and Sanniang rode her Yuzhaoye lion horse, each holding a sword, and asked those few villagers to lead the way, and went straight to the Taigong Zhuangyuan.

When he arrived at the village, the prince caught it, and entertained the three of them with wine, and the prince thanked the three and said: "For the old man's family affairs, drag down all the heroes, I don't want to fold the two heroes in her, the old man is guilty." Sanniang helped Taigong up: "The woman came prepared for this trip, but she just wanted to trouble me Liangshan, and it has nothing to do with Taigong." ”

During the banquet, the woman suddenly sent someone to deliver the letter, and after Sanniang Zhanxin read it, the above agreed to meet in a pavilion on the east mountain of the village at noon tomorrow. Sanniang did not embarrass the person who sent the letter, and after sending him away, Sanniang said to Gongsun Sheng and Lu Junyi: "The three of us here have just arrived here, but after a meal, she sent someone to write the book, and there must be her eyeliner staring at this courtyard." If we wait for the army to come, she will definitely have the news early in the morning, and she will definitely flee early. ”

Lu Junyi said: "It's okay, tomorrow the three of me will go by myself, with my three skills, I don't think that no one in the world will be able to keep the three of us." ”

After the discussion, the three of them rested on the village for a night, and the next day they were full, and the three of them rode straight to the east mountain.

Fang to a hill ten miles east of the Zhuang Courtyard, the Zhuang guest said: "This is the East Mountain." Before he could say anything, he only heard a whistle, and then turned out a group of people at the foot of the mountain, only to see a good man at the head, holding a steel gun, and leading one or twenty small minions under his command to stop the way and shout: "The one who came is the master of Liangshan?"
